1. I don't think that the dress QEQM wore as seen in the banquet photos is the same as the one seen in the train photo.
The dress in the banquet photo below has an off the shoulder designed bodice and a transparent cape/frill along the neckline. From what little that can be seen below the waist the dress looks to have a full skirt.
The type of neckline seen above would not suit a slim sheath style skirt as seen in the train photo.
According to the Ottawa Citizen 6 October 2010 QEQM's dress in the first photo I posted did have a full skirt in three tiers.

2. Apart from the dress I believe that QEQM was wearing a different bracelet on both occasions.
In the photo showing HM at a banquet, it is clear that she is wearing Queen Alexandra's diamond and emerald bracelet. She is wearing a different bracelet in the train photo. What can be seen
is not the back (or clasp) section of Queen Alexandra's bracelet.
Queen Alexandra's bracelet.
I noticed on the web that there is a Chateau Laurier in Montreal and in Ottawa. Is it possible that the government hosted dinners in both? And that HM wore the Teck crescent and roses tiara to both?
They are the same evening. The dinner was at the Chateau Laurier. Departing by train after the dinner. She is wearing the same gown, collet necklaces, and tiara.
I am hoping that some one knows more about the schedule of King George and QEQM in Canada during their historic trip to North America.
I think that QEQM wore the Teck crescents and roses tiara on at least two occasions.
